We regularly Freecycle and Goodwill donate our old Macs and parts, and sometimes pick stuff up from them as well. Goodwill was the recent recipient of several Beiges and a bunch of old PowerComputing power supplies, among other things. The local Goodwill here in Austin has half of one of their stores dedicated to their "Computer Works" resales. They're a little overpriced - I can usually get stuff for better prices on LEMSwap - but this is a pretty tech-proud city. By that I mean people tend to put higher prices on their stuff than is usually warranted - I have never seen a Mac on Craigslist here for a really good price, for instance. -- Bill Christensen <http://greenbuilder.com/contact/> Green Building Professionals Directory: <http://directory.greenbuilder.com> Sustainable Building Calendar: <http://Calendar.SustainableSources.com> Green Real Estate: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/> Straw Bale Registry: <http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/> Books/videos/software: <http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
